Apparently there is a sequel to this series: Shouwa Otome Otogibanashi (昭和オトメ御伽話). According to the Japanese Wikipedia page on Kirioka Sana (the author), it started serialization in Shonen Jump + on 2018-08-21

Some of it can be read online here, it seems.

I can read Japanese only slowly and with a dictionary, but I am super-excited about this. I love Taishou Otome with a great passion. I will read it. :D

I wonder what goes on in that image. The girls look like Tamako, Kotori and Ryou. What has happened to Yuzuki? And what happened to Tamahiko?

The kanji on the left-hand side say: Ai suru hito to shinemasu ka?, which I translate as: "Can I die together with my beloved?"

That sounds scary. I hope Kirioka isn't evil enough to actually kill one of the characters. :O

Showa Otome has been picked up by scanlation group Fallen Angel Scans. At this time of writing they have one chapter out. I don't know whether I am allowed to link to it, so go google it yourself if you want to read it. I know I will be reading it. :D

lots of foreshadowing in this series in the oneshot alone and I'm interested to see where this goes. Also a lil scared, they might add a tragedy tag later on in this series.

Yes, it does look much darker and more tragic than Taishou Otome and what else I have read of Kirioka.

And it is already full of adorableness, just like Kirioka's main Twitter. :D

Just read the translated first chapter / oneshot.
1. Makes me wonder if it's actually a sequel or just a story set in the same world. (Since we didn't see the any familiar characters.)

2. Looks like this one will be way darker with more severe drama. Since it already says on the first and the last page that the female character Tokoyo
. And the "first and last kiss" sentence.



But on the other hand, in Taishou Otome Otogibanashi there was also the chapter before the earthquake where Tamahiko as a narrator said that he would regret for the rest of his life that he didn't kiss Yuzuki when she departed for Tokyo.



Well, we will see. I really hope it's another fluffy romance story without too much drama.

But it doesn't even have a MAL entry so far..

It definitely takes place in the same continuity. Shiratori Kotori is namedropped (though not seen) in chapter 2, and characters from Taishou Otome will show up.

My spoiler-free impression from having skimmed the raws is that Shouwa Otome gets less depressing after a few chapters (thank fuck!) but is still darker and more serious than Taishou Otome (or Shizuko Is My Bride, for that matter).

The sequel is not a vanilla. I repeat, it's not a vanilla. Oh man, where is Hakaru when we need him? I can't just give Tamako to someone else's childhood friend.

I know, right?! When that kid hits on Tamako I'm like: "GET YOUR HANDS OFF HAKARU'S GIRL, YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

Well the Showa era is during world war 2

So it could be about her surviving world war 2 with her beloved…

Cause Taisho era was from 1901-1928

And Showa. 1928-1989.
